My Ride: 2006 Monaco Blue 530i - Sprt, prem, cld weather, nav, logic 7
2004 Topaz Blue 330ci - Grey interior, prem, sprt, cld weather, nav, m rims
2006 X5 - Prem, sprt, servotronic, prem snd, panorama roof.
2002 (i know this doesn;t count) IS300 - suede/leather combo, kit, prem, sport
Ok, so two saturdays ago i posted my pictures of my new 530i. Two weeks later, i've spent each Saturday since adding on to it. Last Saturday was the tints and todayy was my 20 inch M Rims. I was a bit worried about the fitment and look, but as you can see in the pictures i am very happy with the finished product. The M KIt , spoiler, tints and Rims are probably all i will do. It's just great that this time i wasted no time and ordered everything before i had the car. Please comment and post your opinions.

I apologize for the quality, i had to use the trusty Treo due to digital camera not cooperating. When i can i will post better, clearer pics for everyone to see. I know i am bias b/c it's my cr, but i think the rims have made it feel like taking a second delivery. I was shocked when i got back to the tire place and saw it. I wandered around it so long outside, not realizing i could just walk in, grab my key, and be DRIVING it. Inital driving impressions are the car feels like it is flatter in hard turns. As for being more sensitive a ride due to smaller sidewall, i can't say i notice any difference at all. Although, i have only logged 20 some odd miles on it since getting it back a few hours ago. Too bad it's POURING here!!

This is rhetoric: Buy your self a 300 dollar camera!
With Canon you could...
Your pics do really not give us the real picture of your fine automobile.

OK i got the Digital Camera to work. Here are some much better quality pictures. It is overcast and cloudy/raining/pouring all day here. My friends house didn't have much of a backdrop for the car to stand against. Next sunny day when i can washg her i want to create my gallery on the site.

Nice Job, but would the wheels not look a little better wit slightly bigger tyres?
